This Artist Has Made Temporary Face And Body Tattoos Of Twitter And Instagram Profiles
“Face Post” is the artist John Yuyi’s three-part series and a nod to social media via her aforementioned, now-signature transfer stickers. The stickers are reminiscent of the superhero tattoos you’d get in those packets of “cigarette” sweets, applied with a modest dunk of water but maintained the staying power of super-glue – it’s this use of familiar objects in a witty way that gives her work its relatability.

“I always get ideas about objects in daily life… I don’t sit down and choose the ideas, they all just come up in my head,” she explains.
